By Lacrosse Playground | May 20, 2012 |
The Loyola Men's Lacrosse team stays true to its roots. This past week, the team received an enormous amount of support from Under Armour athlete and Baltimore Ravens legend Ray Lewis.

Zach Palmer’s One-Handed Lacrosse Goal Against Virginia Is…

By Lacrosse Playground | March 26, 2012 |
As 412_Lax put it, "Zach Palmer decided to score one handed against UVA. Canadians keeping it casual in Charlottesville." Palmer and the Jays did work this weekend by beating UVA in overtime. This goal, however, made the lacrosse Gods smile. It's pure perfection mixed with a lot of creativity. Remember his behind-the-back goal against the Terps last year? Read More...

Johns Hopkins Lacrosse Nike Vapor Elite Gloves

By Lacrosse Playground | February 2, 2012 |
Best gloves of the season so far? Possibly. The glove's colorway of White and Columbia Blue is just simply smooth. Minimalism is the goal here. Even the Blue Jay is micro compared to their past designs. By eliminating all non-essential forms the true essence and identity is exposed. Hopkins will be wearing at least two other pairs this season.

The Art Of The Slide

By Lacrosse Playground | November 22, 2011 |
Playing the position of defense in lacrosse is based on technique and foot positioning. Defense, particularly in lacrosse, involves adjusting and reacting to the offensive player's move. The man with the ball always knows his next move. It's up to the defenseman to catch on to it. If you catch on too late, then you may cost your team a goal. Read More...
